The end time is automatically set, including the break time set in [company settings > break time].

 • Not Fixed : If you enter the start time as the ‘default hours’ set, the end time will be automatically set(not including break time), and employees can freely set the start and end times.

📢  Time Fixed Option - not fixed, paid hours to 4 hours, default hours to 5 hours

If you enter 9:00 as the start time of your leave, the end time of your leave will be 14:00(5 hours of leave automatically applied, with 4 hours of paid hours reflected in the report.)
